How to be happier and more productive – by doing less
by Dave McGinn for The Globe and Mail
When asked how we are doing, most of us will answer with “busy.” We say it with a mixture of pride and exhaustion. Always doing more has become the toxic default position of our culture. Christine Carter wants to show us how to be happier and even more productive by doing less. There are countless gurus hawking road maps to happiness these days, but Carter’s new book is based on five years of turning her life around. She’s no longer a harried, stressed-out perfectionist. Her book is filled with practical advice based on a wide array of research on how to get to your “sweet spot.”
